2> A freemium cook, "desertofthereal", NOT part of the tournament, has managed to join 4 of the games that were in abeyance for plurple. These games will NOT count as part of the tournament.

3> plurple (lost premium, not joined week 3 games) and geigerm (deadbeat) are both out of the tournament. New games with replacement players will be coming Monday. If either of them can restore their active premium status, and (in geigerm's case) explain adequately what happened by Monday, they will be reinstated. Yes, the reserve for plurple is aware he's gonna have a LOT of games on Monday.

Scores are updated, not including the one just above this, it happened while I was doing it. :/

I apologize for NOT updating as frequently as I'd like right now, but it's a chore just to be able to get ON. My internet connection is freaking out the last week and a half, ONLY during the afternoon and evening hours. The TECHS can't figure it out, they've been looking at it.

No divisions have a locked winner yet, although one or two are looking likely. I will try to update this over the weekend.

Scores Updated. 31 games to go. Heading to work, I will do a more detailed analysis on Monday afternoon to see if we have any finalists locked in yet. Finals PROBABLY will start NEXT Thursday, based on progress so far... it might be this week, even.

Scores updated again. The excel spreadsheet is accurate. The POINTS are accurate here, but the number of games remaining is NOT... that will be corrected within 12 hours, I need to get to my home machine to be able to do this in a fashion that doesn't involve counting each player's games individually (a chore, even with game finder). Will have more commentary then.

Fire Division Champion: wolfpack0530 MeDeFe can still put up an impressive score, but eliminations in wolfpack0530's remaining games GUARANTEE a minimum of 6 more points, enough to lock up the division.

Metal Division Champion: danryan danryan simply outperformed the other players in his division, racking up tournament points enroute to advancing.

Air and Earth Division are both 3-way battles for the title still, and Water is down to a two way race between what could be the two highest scorers in the tournament...

Congratulations to our two (so far) Divisional Winners. All Division Winners are reminded they can reselect any of their settings for the finals, and No Spoils WILL be an option for the final round.

The finals will be much the same format (7 or 8 games a week for 5 weeks), but the opponents will NOT change during those 5 weeks... so let's try and play nice. I'm sure there will be some cabin fever and frustration, playing that many games against the same foes.

Finals expected to start September 3. You may PM me prior to that date with your Home map/settings for the finals. If No post or PM is received, I'll make the games using the elimination round settings you've given me.
